"Summer's Bounty" 6" x 6" each Oil on canvas

Ohhhhh, lovely tomatoes! I think of all the vegetables that I most enjoy painting, these top the list - but all sorts of peppers run a very close second. I like their form, their color, the satiny sheen of their skin. And as for peppers, well just the shape along is enough to intrigue any artist.
These little miniatures are perfect for that small area in the kitchen or dining room or small wall space. They also look wonderful on miniature easels that I will gladly offer complementary with purchase. Just $125 each painting. Please contact me for purchase or further information.

Tomatoes, Tomatoes, Tomatoes!

More tomatoes! Well, they were here, they looked 'paintable' to me and so I painted them! Maybe next time I'll paint sliced tomatoes. I've added a companion piece with green peppers to these tomatoes. They make a beautiful pair for a kitchen, dining area. Bright colorful - and framed in bright, white frames to compliment shiny white appliances! PURCHASE HERE

"Tomatoes Two, Tomatoes, Three"

These are both 4" x 6", oil on board. $100 each, unframed. I am absolutely nuts over tomatoes, especially tomatoes in summer - fresh from the vine. However, I've found a reasonable replacement, since summer seems to have deserted the Seattle area over the last few years, and at the very least - even when we have a few decent summer days, the growing season isn't long enough. But, I still need my 'tomato' fix. Costco sells tomatoes from a grower named "Campari" and I have to say, they are the BEST tomatoes ever! I am able to have the 'fresh from the vine' taste all winter long and have never been more pleased over store-bought tomatoes. Here's a link to their site. They have some great tomato recipes on the site as well. Try them, you won't regret it, I promise! PURCHASE HERE
